Malas for this batch of students but hopefully we go back to the entrance exam system for succeeding years.

Thats what the traditional UPCAT was supposed to address, to weed out the smart (actual UPCAT), from the merely studious (HS grades). The HS grades gauges your suitability for your planned course, and the UPCAT the predicted grade of your first 2 semesters in UP (see if you will survive).

I'm guessing maraming mawawala after one year.
